*nod* You're right, how many friends of yours died while performing regional pilot duties? You don't need to answer because everybody already knows. Again, I'm not trying to diminish what regional pilots go through but so many people here treat you as some kind of protected class. Get over it. Everybody pays their dues in one way or another. You're not special, you're not a victim, nobody forced you to work for some crap regional just like nobody forced me to be in the military.

You tell me to take a breath while in the same paragraph complain about the financial difficulties you faced, which were created by the yes voters. Perhaps you should take your own advice.
I already said before that I joined the industry at a pretty good time. It's people like you that I think about when making my comments. I don't base my opinions of historical events only on how they affect myself.

That's not an argument. It's using patriotism to try and win an argument. I refuted your bogus claim that officer pay is pretty much the same as regional FO pay and you come back with some classless argument about how my friends didn't die flying RJs rebuttal.
And you're right, not as many pilots die flying commercially but there have been PLENTY that have. In fact, I don't know if you remember it, but a regional turboprop crashed and Kool killed everyone on board not that long ago. And then there was that UPS crash on 2013. But you're right, their deaths are meaningless compared to your friends

Yet in a discussion about mainline pilots ruining the lives about said regional pilots you had to come in and say how you had it worse. Military is a different set of circumstances and sacrifices, no question, why bring finances into it. The poster you initially referenced said he was lucky, you walked in and said stop complaining and get over it. The post was aimed at another poster saying that if mainline hadn’t sold us all out we would all have mansions and unicorns so how dare us accept the paltry life we have now.

Curious question: How many airborne combat death have there been in the past 15 years?
How many have happened during training? (Military)
Now, tell me how many civilian operational pilot deaths there have been in the same time.
And also tell me how many civilian training deaths have occurred in the past 15 years.
Oh, and be sure you include the fatality ratio to hours flown.
As a CFI I couldn’t get life insurance because no one (outside of AOPA) would write a policy. But, my friends in the ANG has no problem getting coverage.
Don’t be surprised if Mike Rowe narrates a TV show called “The Deadliest Job” while following CFI’s around every day.
